Kent has probably hiccuped for the 100th time tonight.

We have finished all that we need to for our little marriage and here are a few suggestions:

>>Don't be late to the temple. We were late to the temple. 15 minutes late. I was in tears until Kent whispered to me, "It's okay, we're here at the temple." I started calming down soon after that.

>>Don't wear flip flops to the temple. So embarrassing, but what can you do when you are rushed at 7 in the morning to leave the hotel? Just try not to "flop" them if it does happen. Who does that anyway??

>>At each reception there were little girls. Even if I had never seen them before they would look at me and then quickly look away. Hug them. They think you are a princess and they want to be your best friend, so let them! (proof below)

>>Make the reception cute and a priority all the way up until the week ahead, then forget about it! I shouldn't have worried so much about our 2nd open house. ehh, but that's just me.

>>EAT THE FOOD. Take 5 whole minutes (even if you are not hungry!), grab a plate of whatever, and eat it slowly (while sitting down). You will appreciate this in the night when you are starving.

>>Tell someone to save you and your groom some cake. Yeah, didn't do that. We got zipo.

>>Take your shoes off. They hurt.

>>And finally, Thank your parents and siblings. Write them letters and tell them how grateful you are. Family is amazing.

Being married is the best. This job we are doing is hard work! These little moments of working together at this job can be tough, but also awesome because now we can look back and say we worked together cleaning homes for families.
Cleaning every single dish and spoon and Tupperware lid these people own reminds me of how unimportant "things" are, and how important family is. I think this job has been quite the eye opener for me, and it came at JUST the right time.

I babysat these beautiful little girls who are not little anymore and keep growing!

I also babysat these two funny kiddos who loved to touch my dress.

More wedding photos soon! I'll put up a post of them.
Night.

  1. ahaha! love it. Your wedding sounds like mine including being late, little girls thinking you're a princess - you got a great shot that captures that btw (I will forever be awesome to my nieces - until they grow up and realize the truth that is...), not letting the details of the reception get to you, only getting about 2 bites at our reception, and we only got a bite of our cake for the formal cutting part and the rest disappeared (I suspect my sisters ate it...) Glad you had a great time!!
